This project provides a lightweight and secure Docker container for HandBrake.
Access the application's full graphical interface directly from any modern web browser - no downloads, installs, or setup required on the client side - or connect with any VNC client.
The web interface also offers audio playback, seamless clipboard sharing, an integrated file manager and terminal for accessing the container's files and shell, desktop notifications, and more.
A fully automated mode is also available: drop files into a watch folder and let HandBrake process them without any user interaction.
This Docker container is entirely unofficial and not made by the creators of HandBrake.
HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs.
NOTE: The Docker command provided in this quick start is an example, and parameters should be adjusted to suit your needs.

docker run -d \
--name=handbrake \
